Products against cancer
The anti-cancer diet is very simple, but it entails a change in lifestyle, some seemingly insurmountable. I present to you the ideal, in my opinion, diet. But this program is not related to the principle of "all or nothing". It can be performed in full, and can be carried out and in parts, bringing in their lifestyle gradual changes over a period of time. However, the stricter you adhere to the principles outlined here supply, the more reliable you protect yourself from cancer.

Although adherence to anti-cancer diet requires self-discipline, it has nothing to do with self-torture. First, we need courage and determination, but the program should be voluntary. Your tastes will gradually change, and you get used to the simple and wholesome food, which eventually will be nicer to you the most exquisite dishes in a gourmet restaurant. Your choice will pay off the length and quality of life.

The first step in complying with anti-cancer diet - to withdraw from drinking too nutritious, high-calorie food too. Reduce your intake of calories, get used to the extra vitamins and minerals. Take a good book about nutrition and read it, what foods contain essential vitamins and minerals.

If you consume fresh whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables along with a limited number of seeds and nuts, then you should not be so worried about malnutrition. With this type of diet you get enough protein without eating meat, eggs or dairy products containing fat.

The basic diet should consist of starchy foods, cereals, fruit and vegetables with a limited number of "concentrated" food, such as for example nuts. Important in protecting against cancer are antioxidants (antioxidants). They block the free radicals of fatty acids produced by the oxidation of polyunsaturated fats. They also prevent the formation of nitrosamines from nitrates contained in food. Many vitamins and minerals included in the fruit and vegetable diet, while antioxidants help prevent cancer.

Vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene is widely distributed in fruits and vegetables having a bright color. Carrots, sweet potatoes, beet greens, broccoli, asparagus, apricots contain a lot of beta-carotene.

Another powerful antioxidant, which prevents the formation of fatty acids, and also prevents the formation of nitrosamines is vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Vitamin C is widely distributed in the plant world, it is very much in citrus fruits, kiwi, green peppers, broccoli, iceberg, color and Brussels sprouts.

Vitamin E contained in green leaf vegetables, whole grain cereals and many other foods, is another antioxidant that hinders the formation of nitrosamines. Some minerals, such as iron and trace elements such as selenium, as antioxidants, also exert a protective effect. Green vegetables and fruits are grown in different regions, even on poor soils, selenium, provide you with a sufficient amount of minerals.

As for the combination of nutrients that nature has shown remarkable ingenuity here. Take, for example, an apple. It contains over 100 different nutrients in the right proportions. Besides unparalleled carbohydrates, protein, vitamins and minerals in apples has also required amount of water, cellulose, pectin. In addition, fresh apples contain plant enzymes, very fit body.

And at the same time keep in mind that the use of vitamins and minerals in large doses can cause harm. The excess or deficiency of iodine has a detrimental effect on the thyroid gland, and even lead to cancer. Vitamins A and D are toxic in large doses. Large doses of vitamin C destroy vitamin B12. Selenium becomes toxic when its concentration in the food exceeds the allowable dose. Too much zinc supplementation can cause a copper deficiency. Many other problems can arise in connection with such "chemical experiments" in the nutrition program. Focuses on a diet of starchy foods, supplemented with fruit, cereals, vegetables and nuts. It is this diet guarantees you health.
Cruciferous vegetables (cabbage) is another group of products, the use of which may prevent the development of cancer. These include cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts and a variety of other green vegetables such as spinach, mustard, lettuce. The use of these vegetables protects us from cancer due to the presence of these chemicals called indoles. They stimulate the secretion of digestive enzymes - arilgidroksilazy blocking the action of the available food carcinogens.
However, not all enzymes are useful. Some of them are located in the interstitial fluid, slow down the digestion of protein. They are called proteases in various ways and can contribute to the tumor and the growth of abnormal cells. Some of these substances can penetrate into the cell wall and hit the genetic apparatus. A variety of vegetables, such as beans, sunflower seeds are rich natural sources of protease inhibitors. This may partly explain the low incidence of cancer among vegetarians.
Fiber is also an important component of the anti-cancer diet. Foods containing little fiber, as harmful as food, poor in proteins and vitamins. If all we are constantly eaten grain cereals, fresh fruits, vegetables and legumes, are not added to food margarine, butter or syrup, we would never have had to worry about getting enough fiber. And sometimes it is in the diet is a must. Even the addition of fiber to refined food is not enough for normal control the release of nutrients during digestion. The best source of fiber is oatmeal, which consists mainly of pectin.

The ability to cope with stress - another important point that should be considered when it comes to cancer prevention. Stress affects the biochemical and physiological processes that occur in all systems of the body, increase susceptibility to all types of human diseases, including cancer.

The best response to stress is self-control, which implies the presence of self-esteem, knowledge of his personality, the ability to determine for themselves the real purpose in life.

Yet the first step to victory over cancer is a lifestyle that will help prevent this disease. Lifestyle changes - it is quite achievable, this is only necessary to start a new life, which is equivalent to a second birth, when you re going through a period of discovery, peculiar to children. If you follow the proposed program, it can be well thought out and healthy life, making it possible to avoid many of the epidemic and organic diseases. However, to solve the problem of cancer requires more than just lifestyle changes.

Reduce your intake of animal products.

If you smoke - stop!

Go slowly in the anti-cancer diet.

Nutritional factors that contribute to the development of cancer
It is proved that the excess calories and calories especially concentrated enclosed in fats considerably accelerate the development of certain cancers, such as breast, colon and prostate cancer. Studies on animals and epidemiological data for more than half a century to confirm this relationship. One of the first such studies were carried out in 1930 by Watson and Mellanby that a normal diet of mice, which impacted coal tar, added 12.5 percent butter. As a result, cases of skin cancer have jumped from 34 to 57%. Hundreds of studies conducted since that time, confirmed that both animals and humans with food high in fat increases the risk of cancer.

Excess fat in the diet are more promoters than initiators of cancer. Fat content in the body increase the hormones that are potential promoters.

Contribute to the development of cancer mostly saturated fats: butter and other animal fats that make cell walls lose elasticity. However, the problem may create excessive consumption of polyunsaturated fats, such as vegetable oil. The oxidation of polyunsaturated fats contributes to the formation of fatty acids, are carcinogenic. An indication of the oxidation of polyunsaturated fats in food is rancid. Therefore, you should never eat stale nuts, old vegetable oil and other foods containing rancid butter.

Although clearly not proved that the cholesterol contained in food, is a direct risk factor, it should be borne in mind that it plays a role in the development of colon cancer. When the oil reaches the stomach, the liver receives a chemical signal about the need to allocate additional bile. Cholesterol is a major component of bile. Intestinal flora from non-vegetarians is full of bacteria that convert cholesterol to a carcinogen such as estrogen. Add to this a long time of passage through the intestine meat food devoid of fiber, and the result is that carcinogens remain in contact with the intestinal wall for several hours. This may explain the relationship between the consumption of meat-eating and cancer of the rectum.

Oxidation of cholesterol situation is further exacerbated. Oxidized cholesterol is produced in the case when the food containing it excessively heated in the presence of oxygen or when the skin is exposed to repeated sunburn. Oxidation of cholesterol, which is in foods is one of the most potent carcinogens. For food containing this component include: powdered eggs, powdered milk and frozen meat. Even skim milk powder contains enough fat to form the oxidation of cholesterol. Fat milk powder contains them in dangerous quantities.

The survey, conducted last few years among Seventh-day Adventists living in California, found further evidence in favor of abandoning the consumption of eggs. There was a direct relationship between ovarian cancer and the consumption of eggs. Eggs also increase the risk of colorectal cancer in both women and men. Those men in the diet takes place much meat, milk, cheese, mortality from prostate cancer is 3.6 times higher than in those who consume enough of these foods.

Pretty dangerous processes occur at fried barbecue charcoal. The fat drips onto hot coals, and evaporates into a gas containing benzopyrene. This is a dangerous substance soaks up and chunks of meat. The fact that a major carcinogen benzopyrene contained in tobacco smoke. It is estimated that the consumption of 0.5 kg of meat roasted on charcoal, equivalent to smoking 200 cigarettes.

The relationship between the protein contained in foods and cancer less yavna. Some studies suggest that excess protein content in the food may be a risk factor for renal cancer, and pancreatic cancer. It is known that too much protein can overload the kidneys and contribute to the development of jade. The diet of most Americans make up products that contain too much protein. This increases the possibility of cancer.

When canning meat still used nitrates and nitrites. However, some nitrates can be converted into carcinogenic nitrosamines. But as the past few years has spread method of storing food by rapid freezing, the result is a decline in the use of nitrates. As a result of decreased and the incidence of cancer. Some products are subjected to long-term preservation by fume treatment. However, it is proved that smoked meat and smoked fish contains especially hydrocarbons, which can also cause the development of cancer.
